FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2010 JAGUAR XKR (NOTE THAT YOUR FORM LATER ONLY ALLOWS AN XF TO BE CLICKED IN ORDER TO PROCEED SO I DID THAT). ON 2-21-10 CAR 1/2 FULL OF GAS. STARTED CAR AND DROVE TWO BLOCKS WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE SHUTOFF AND AMBER ENGINE SYMBOL ("ENGINE MALFUNCTION") LIGHT CAME ON. ABLE TO MOVE STEERING WHEEL A LITTLE (NO POWER STEERING) AND COASTED TO STOP--DOING ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND TRIED TO START AND WOULD NOT RESTART. TRIED TO START AGAIN A MINUTE LATER AND WAS ABLE TO START AND DROVE BACK TO HOME WHERE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AUSTIN JAG DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FOUND LOW FUEL PRESSURE CODE, BUT WHEN PRESSURE TESTED THEY FOUND NOTHING AND COULDN'T REPLICATE. THEN TOWED TO HOUSTON JAGUAR DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED FROM AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND COULD NOT REPLICATE SO SAID NOTHING TO REPAIR. OCCURRENCE IN AUSTIN, TX (HOUSTON GARAGED). PREVIOUSLY, TWO WEEKS BEFORE, SMELLED GAS IN CAR WHEN FILLED UP (AGAIN DEALERSHIP COULDN'T SMELL OR FIND A PROBLEM). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED A 2011 XF THE LAST DAY OF JULY 2010. DURING THE TEST DRIVE AND DURING THE FIRST WEEK, THE CAR HESITATES (FEELS LIKE IT IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS) AND THERE APPEARS TO BE GRINDING UNDER THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. WITHIN WEEKS, THE ENGINE STUMBLED AND STALLED. THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND ARE DANGEROUS; COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. UPDATED IVOQ 10/08/10 *TR
